In a questionnaire study, Russian versions of the General and Personal belief in a just world (BJW) Scales were validated. Results from exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis showed that the Personal BJW Scale could be empirically differentiated from the General BJW Scale; however, both scales correlated positively. Good internal consistencies of both scales were demonstrated. Age was positively correlated with personal BJW but not with general BJW. Gender differences were found neither in personal nor in general BJW. Personal BJW was found to be stronger than general BJW. Convergent validity was tested by inspecting correlations of BJW scales with the Basic World Assumptions Scale. Divergent validity was examined by inspecting correlations with Markers for the Big Five Factor Structure Scale and Justice Sensitivity Scales. Both personal and general BJW showed positive connections with all subscales of the Basic World Assumptions Scale (self-worth, benevolence of world, justice, luck, and control). We demonstrated divergent validity of personal BJW regarding intellect, agreeableness, conscientiousness, beneficiary and perpetrator sensitivity, and divergent validity of general BJW regarding intellect, beneficiary, perpetrator, and observer sensitivity. Both BJW dimensions were unrelated to beneficiary and perpetrator sensitivity. In addition, general BJW was not related to observer sensitivity. Results give evidence for satisfactory psychometric properties and validation of the Russian versions of BJW scales.

俄罗斯在一个公正的世界范围内对一般和个人信仰的适应：验证和心理计量学特性

在一项问卷调查研究中，验证了俄语版本的正义世界（BJW）量表的一般和个人信仰。探索性和确认性因素分析的结果表明，个人BJW量表可以与一般BJW量表在经验上区分开；但是，两个量表均呈正相关。两种量表均具有良好的内部一致性。年龄与个人BJW呈正相关，但与一般BJW无正相关。在个人和一般BJW中均未发现性别差异。发现个人BJW比一般BJW强。通过检查BJW量表与《基本世界假设量表》的相关性来检验收敛效度。通过检查与大五因素结构量表和正义敏感性量表的标记之间的相关性，来检验发散性的有效性。个人和一般的BJW都与基本世界假设量表的所有子量表（自我价值，世界的仁慈，正义，好运和控制）都具有积极的联系。我们证明了个人BJW在智力，宜人性，责任感，受益人和犯罪者敏感性方面的不同有效性，以及一般BJW在智力，受益人，犯罪者和观察者敏感性方面的有效性不同。BJW的两个维度都与受益人和犯罪者的敏感性无关。此外，一般的BJW与观察者的敏感性无关。结果提供了令人满意的心理计量学证据和俄文版BJW量表的验证。我们证明了个人BJW在智力，宜人性，责任感，受益人和犯罪者敏感性方面的不同有效性，以及一般BJW在智力，受益人，犯罪者和观察者敏感性方面的有效性不同。BJW的两个维度都与受益人和犯罪者的敏感性无关。此外，一般的BJW与观察者的敏感性无关。结果提供了令人满意的心理计量学特性的证据，并证明了俄文版BJW量表的有效性。我们证明了个人BJW在智力，宜人性，责任感，受益人和犯罪者敏感性方面的不同有效性，以及一般BJW在智力，受益人，犯罪者和观察者敏感性方面的有效性不同。BJW的两个维度都与受益人和犯罪者的敏感性无关。此外，一般的BJW与观察者的敏感性无关。结果提供了令人满意的心理计量学证据和俄文版BJW量表的验证。此外，一般的BJW与观察者的敏感性无关。结果提供了令人满意的心理计量学证据和俄文版BJW量表的验证。此外，一般的BJW与观察者的敏感性无关。结果提供了令人满意的心理计量学证据和俄文版BJW量表的验证。
